Customer Reviews

Good mix of historical and romance

Redwood Empire is a saga created by the husband and wife team of Ann and Evan Maxwell. I wasn't sure about this one, having read some of their other joint efforts but they seem to have gotten the right mix on this one. Ann also writes as Elizabeth Lowell. I found Redwood Empire had more substance than some of her other early romance ventures. A fast read as desire mixed with betrayal ultimately leads to tragedy. I'm not sure how accurate the historical parts are but you get a good feel of the time period, region, and just how much our attitudes have changed about the timber industry.

A great read!

I read this book several years ago and thougt it was just wonderful. I don't remember the details concerning the plot, just so you know, but I do remember that the story is quite a leap from what we normally see from this author. I have a thing for love stories where the love is a little desperate a little raw. I remember during a certain scene from this novel giving a little gasp at the bittersweet horror presented by the author. Anyway I remember really enjoying the story. The loves scenes were a little hot and the emotional level was soaring. Just like all of her novels. It had the same feel as Chain Lightning and Dark Fire and most of her newer novels, but in an historical setting.
